I am leaving on the 20th instant for the Straits Settle-

ments, but expect to be back in China by Nove/mbbr. During my

absence, however, any negotiations can be tonlucted through the

manager of B. R. Loxley and Company, Mr. D.0, Russell, and our

colliery engineer, Mr. J. Barr, who have between them the whole

of this matter in hand and full power to deal with everything,

I have the honour, etc.,

(Signed) J. N. (7) Russell.
